Trump's greatest 2017 accomplishment!

[blutoski]

The same cons that whine about "political correctness" get all offended when someone says "Happy Holidays", takes a knee during the national anthem, or has the nerve to criticize a cop for killing an unarmed citizen. There's just as much political correctness on the right; it's just about different stuff.

My favourite example is:

Crybaby: "We really respect a candidate that speaks his mind about (ahem) certain demographics. That's what this country needs."

Clinton: "Basket of deplorables."

Crybaby: "Wha! Huminahuminahumina! That's... that's... that's going too far! Somebody should do something. She's really lost my respect, she's speaking her mind about me. We can't have a leader who goes around insulting people."

Sounds like hate rules then.
You should be pleased.

Nope, I would much prefer there was no one in existence on this planet like trumpf or even similar to it!!!!!!

 

[thaiboxerken]

Yeah, that's modern conservatism in a nutshell. "I don't give a **** if it's a good idea or not as long as it pisses off people I don't like."

Trumpublicans are all about trolling the world.

Need straw with that?

Are you accusing me a making a straw man argument? Because asking if I need straw implies I don't have it, and I can't make a straw man argument without straw, can I?

But assuming you were accusing me of making a straw man argument, I most certainly was not. Pointing out the obvious implications of a line of reasoning does not a straw man argument make.

Sadly, I think that Trump's greatest achievement in 2017 has been that he has managed to make the Extremist Right Wing nutjobs that would have been laughed at in 2015, actually seem to be the voices of reason, and moved them from the dark recesses of FOX News to become talking heads on CNN and NBC.

He personally created millions of jobs. The jobs stolen from white men by the Chinese and Mexicans are coming back!

Obamacare is dead, dying and not even alive anymore. Millions of people have great new healthcare insurance thanks to he.

He lifted the stock market to record heights.

He's restored America to greatness.

He bashed Muslims, women, black people and other minorities whenever it was appropriate, like when they act up.

American prestige and international standing has been brought to heights never seen before. Before the world took advantage of America all the time but now its time for the world to pay America's bills.

He's upgraded America's nuclear arsenal. America stronk!

He's accomplished more than any president, or even any leader of any country at all, ever has done. Nobody could ever even come close.

You still have not explained given the circumstances why fuelair's post bothered you so much.

Where did I mention it bothered me?

I was only pointing fuelair's playground sense of humor, and your hypocrisy..

Where did I argue the President should not be held to a higher standard?

What may be obvious implications of my reasoning to you, may just be confirmation bias.. Another common debating fallacy.

It's just pining for the fjords.

You left out keeping airplanes from crashing.

You left out keeping airplanes from crashing.

And he does it all by himself!

He leaps into the air and holds them up until they can be landed gently. Even the ones that aren't in any difficulty.

It proves his superpowers as President because he can find time to do that for each and every one of the thousands of airplanes flying at any given moment without even affecting his golf schedule.

What a guy.

 

[johnny karate]

Where did I argue the President should not be held to a higher standard?

That took place right here:

Unlike the irony of being incensed at one person's vulgar comment, while giving a pass to others?

See, what you did there was present as equivalent comments made by the President and comments made by a random, anonymous person on an Internet message board.

That, by its nature, indicates you are not holding the President to a higher standard.

What may be obvious implications of my reasoning to you, may just be confirmation bias.. Another common debating fallacy.

No, it's the thing I said.

 

[lobosrul5]

No wars, well not any big ones, so far in his presidency. Color me surprised. 3 years left though.

I do believe you might consider reviewing the definition of "bothered".
